# Data residency

> Restrict inference for your Enterprise account to a selected region

Data residency restricts inference on your account to a single region. Once a region is set, every request must use that region's API endpoint and a model served in that region.

It does not change how your requests are routed. Turning it on will not move existing traffic into the region. This setting *enforces* all requests to be in the set region, and rejects the ones that are not.

<Info>
  **Enterprise feature.** Data residency is available on Enterprise accounts. Contact your Fireworks representative if you need this enabled.
</Info>

<Info>
  Only account **Admins** can change data residency. Other roles can view the current setting but cannot change it.
</Info>

Residency applies **account-wide**: every API key on the account is restricted to the selected region.

## Available regional restrictions

| Regional restrictions | API endpoint                                                                   | Serverless                                           | Dedicated deployments                                                                |
| :-------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| None                  | <span style={{ whiteSpace: "nowrap" }}><code>api.fireworks.ai</code></span>    | Any model                                            | Any region                                                                           |
| US                    | <span style={{ whiteSpace: "nowrap" }}><code>us.api.fireworks.ai</code></span> | [US-only Serverless](/serverless/us-only-serverless) | [`US` multi-region](/deployments/regions), or a single US region such as `US_IOWA_1` |

**None** is the default. For a region that is not listed, contact [sales](https://fireworks.ai/company/contact-us).

## Before you switch it on

A residency change takes effect as soon as you save it, and anything that does not match the region is rejected.

### Serverless

Point your clients at the region's API endpoint and change every request to use a model from that region. See [US-only Serverless](/serverless/us-only-serverless) for the US endpoint and model IDs.

<Warning>
  **`inference_geo` is deprecated** in favor of data residency. As you switch over, remove the `inference_geo` field from your request bodies and the `Fireworks-Inference-Geo` header from your requests.
</Warning>

### Dedicated deployments

Every dedicated deployment must run in the selected region. Create it with `--region` set to that region, or to a single region inside it. See [Regions](/deployments/regions).

Check what you already have before you save the setting:

```bash theme={null}
firectl deployment list
```

* **New deployments outside the region are rejected** when you create them.
* **Existing deployments are not checked, moved, or stopped** when you switch the setting on. One outside the region keeps running and keeps costing you money, but requests to it are rejected. Replace it first.
* **You can move a deployment to another region inside your residency region, but not out of it.**

## Configure in the console

Account admins can set data residency in the Fireworks console at **Settings → Governances → Data Residency** ([open in console](https://app.fireworks.ai/settings/governances/region-access)).

Select the region and save. The console asks you to confirm that your clients already use the endpoint and models shown for that region.

## Configure with firectl

Set the region:

```bash theme={null}
firectl policy residency set US
```

Inspect the current setting:

```bash theme={null}
firectl policy residency get
```

Remove the restriction and return the account to unrestricted serving:

```bash theme={null}
firectl policy residency clear
```

## Pricing

Regional models are priced at a premium over the base serverless price for the same model. See [Serverless pricing](/serverless/pricing).

## Limitations

The following are not supported while a region is set: calls are rejected, and stay rejected until you clear the setting.

* **Training.** Fine-tuning and training jobs are blocked. Support is coming soon.
* **FireRouter.** [FireRouter](/ecosystem/firerouter/overview) can pass a request through to a third-party provider, which Fireworks cannot constrain to a region.
* **BYOC.** [BYOC](/ecosystem/integrations/byoc/overview) deployments run in your own cloud account, so Fireworks cannot enforce where they run.
